The room was very clean and comfortable, but my towel had a small brown stain on it. Two of the staff were very unfriendly, when we arrived she just gave us our key without a smile and we had to ask twice before we discovered that the room was a little chalet in the car park. There is a nice view of a peaceful field and trees from the window and generally it was okay.

I've stayed a few times recently while working in the area. Accommodation is fairly basic, but comfortable beds, clean, warm and a great little restaurant onsite with nice food. Ideal for a few days stop.
